Complete issue 54:3 Tennessee Libraries Vol 54 No 3 Full issue ● From the editors ● Tennessee Bibliography 2003 ● Book Reviews ● Interviews ● Webliography From the Editors Mark Ellis Now that the 2004 election is over, it seems like a good time to remind new officeholders as well as reelected incumbents of the importance of libraries to the health of the nation, and of the need for their support for libraries. In our district in Washington County, we have a new representative to the Tennessee legislature who promises to set up a public forum to find out the concerns of his constituents. My wife and I plan to attend and let him know our thoughts. In many areas the local chapters of the League of Women Voters will be setting up “meet your elected officials” events to provide the citizens of Tennessee with opportunities to talk to their representatives. Then of course, TLA sponsors Library Legislative Day so that we can go to Nashville and make sure that our public servants understand what we do and why it is important. Beyond the state level, you can contact our representatives in Washington D.C. You can telephone Senator Bill Frist’s office at 202-224-3344 or e-mail him from his website: http://frist.senate.gov/. Senator Lamar Alexander also provides his telephone number 202-224-4944 and the opportunity to e-mail him at: http://alexander.senate.gov/index.html. And then of course, our House members have their websites with contact information. Now that President Bush is contemplating what the next four years will hold, we have a special opportunity to remind him that libraries represent a fundamental value of our society. After all, his wife is a former school librarian and a great reader, and consequently must be an advocate for libraries in the presidential household as well as through her foundation. The president's web address is: http://www.whitehouse.gov. Let his administration know what constituents in one of the "red states" expect during his second term. In this issue of Tennessee Librarian, Scott Cohen interviews Jim Rettig, University Librarian at the University of Richmond and reference innovator. I read this interview with particular interest because Jim was reference department head in my first library job at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We are also publishing the 2003 Tennessee Bibliography, the latest in our annual list of books about Tennessee, about Tennesseans, or by Tennessee authors. To complement the bibliography, Marie Jones has put together a webliography of sites for authors represented in the bibliography as well as sites devoted to Tennessee authors in general.

As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

After a discussion of the main themes of classical rhetoric, the book offers a historical analysis of the rhetoric of 18th and 19th centuries, focusing briefly on the works of George Campbell, Hugh Blair, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book divides the current field of composition/rhetoric into five categories: current-traditio:. 1 rhetoric, romantic rhetoric, neo-classical rhetoric, new rhetoric, and new stylistics. An entire chapter in the book is devoted to the work of I. A. Richards and Kenneth Burke. The final chapter of the book offers an analysis of poststructuralism influence on composition--discussing New Criticism, deconstruction, feminist criticism, and postmodernism.

  • The Picture of Nobody: Shakespeare's Anti-Authorship
    The Picture of Nobody: Shakespeare’s anti-authorship RICHARD WILSON Contributor: Richard Wilson is the Sir Peter Hall Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Kingston University, London. His books include Will Power, Secret Shakespeare, and Shakespeare in French Theory. He is the author of numerous articles in academic journals, and is on the editorial board of the journal Shakespeare. 1. Bare life At the end, ‘his nose was as sharp as a pen’ as he ‘babbled of green fields’ (Henry V, 2,3,15). In September 1615, a few weeks before Shakespeare began to make his will and a little over six months before his death, Thomas Greene, town clerk of Stratford, wrote a memorandum of an exchange biographers treasure as the last of the precious few records of the dramatist’s spoken words: ‘W Shakespeares tellyng J Greene that I was not able to beare the enclosinge of Welcombe’.1 John Greene was the clerk’s brother, and Shakespeare, according to previous papers, was their ‘cousin’, who had lodged Thomas at New Place, his Stratford house. So the Greenes had appealed to their sharp-nosed kinsman for help in a battle that pitted the council against a consortium of speculators who were, in their own eyes, if ‘not the greatest… almost the greatest men of England’.2 The plan to enclose the fields of Welcombe north of the town was indeed promoted by the steward to the Lord Chancellor, no less. But the predicament for Shakespeare was that it was led by his friends the Combes, rich money-lenders from whom he had himself bought 107 acres adjacent to the scheme.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination
    The Invisible Primary and the 1996 Presidential Nomination Thomas R. Marshall, University of Texas at Arlington The 1996 presidential nominations process will not begin with the first state primaries and caucuses. By January 1996 the candidates had already spent millions of dollars and thousands of days campaigning during the "in­ visible primary." The 1996 nominations race features several new prac­ tices—such as the front-loading of delegate-selection events, and the re- emergence of Washington insiders as the early GOP leaders. For the first time since 1964 the Democrat Party did not face a spirited nominations race. This article reviews the prenomination season for the 1996 presidential race with evidence available by early January 1996. Public Opinion Public opinion remained relatively stable during the 1995 "invisible primary," just as it typically has in recent presidential contests.1 Heavy spending in key primary and caucus states, debates among the candidates, and the entry and exit of candidates all failed to move public opinion polls during 1995. In the absence of saturation media coverage and media labeling of "winners" and "losers" in the early caucuses and primaries, few dramatic poll shifts appeared. The Republicans Throughout 1995, the Gallup Poll reported only slight changes in the first-choice preferences of self-identified Republicans and independents leaning Republicans. Between April 1995 and January 1996, front-runner Bob Dole’s support varied only from a low of 45 percent to a high of 51 percent. Support for Senator Phil Gramm varied only from a low of seven percent to a high of 13 percent.

  • Marius, Richard. After The
    Boston Globe, May 17, 1992 AFTER THE WAR By Richard Marius Alfred A. Knopf. 637 pp. In 1977, one year before he left Tennessee to head Harvard's expository writing program, history professor/novelist Richard Marius described a novel-in-progress about "an immigrant who arrives in Bourbonville [Tennessee] in the autumn of 1917. He has been wounded fighting in the Belgian army, and now he must make a new existence for himself. His coming unhinges the town." Fifteen years later, opulently enlarged, the plan once entitled The Immigrant emerges as Marius's third novel, After the War. It is not merely good. It is amazingly good. The book does, however, take its time clenching us in its grasp. Rather, we drift in, disoriented and wary, like the novel's protagonist, Paul Alexander. Born Greek and educated in Belgium, Paul has spent almost three years recovering from a shrapnel wound suffered early in World War I. Vaguely hoping to find the father who abandoned him, Paul wanders to east Tennessee where he takes a job as chemist in a Bourbonville railroad iron foundry. Yet Paul is lost at the intersection of now and then. Wherever he turns he sees the specters of Guy and Bernal, his vibrant schoolmates, both killed at the dawn of the war, both everpresent in Tennessee to remind him they've sworn to remain together always. For the first third of the novel, Marius braids the stories of Paul in Belgium and Paul in Tennessee. They yield an achingly engrossing character, a studious boy grown into a pained young man who has recovered neither in body from his wounds nor in spirit from the deaths of his friends.

Governor Dewhurst, Speaker Straus, members of the Legislature, to my colleagues on the bench and most importantly, to the citizens of Texas, thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak with you today. These are critical times for Texas and for the nation. Now more than ever, the public relies on all branches of government to work together. That work begins here in the Capitol, in this chamber and in the Senate, where the Legislature crafts laws to promote the general welfare. Without the executive branch to enforce them, the laws may as well be written on sand. And unless the judiciary interprets the laws faithfully, the underpinning of our democracy – the rule of law – will falter. We each have an obligation to concentrate our energies on the first goal the United States Constitution articulates, and that is “to establish Justice.” Working together, we have made good progress toward that ideal.
